Coincollector110 Pillar of the Community United States 818 Posts	Posted 02/21/2019 09:22 am Someone's collection must've been broken into, because the convenience store clerk from last week had some "really shiny half dollars" and upon closer inspection, they were all proof coins! She also had some nickels that likely came from the same person, and the total face value of everything was five bucks, so I traded a five for all the following! Half dollars: 1976, 1978, 1979 x2, 1980, 1984, 1991, 1994, 1995 Nickels: 1976, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984 (unfortunately has a stain by the date), 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 That's at least 13 proof sets that were busted open, so I hope this was someone who willfully broke them open rather than stole from another person's collection...

bugo Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:53 pm I found these two in a generic coin sorting machine at a local store. They are well-worn veterans that are getting their well-deserved retirement. This is the first Walking Liberty half and the first Mercury dime I have found in circulation. This might be my best "Coinstar" find yet. The next day, I found a silver 1965 Canadian dime in another coin counting machine. Hip hip hooray for free silver. Report this Post to the Staff
